I was only 16 when that picture was taken! Think I lied about my age at the time and added a year on for my licence - although everyone racing knew anyway.
Otherwise I have hardly aged at all since ......

Definately - we were robbed!
You will have to come for a run out in the new cat sometime - a bit more comfortable and spacious than the old Stapley days!

Amazing looking back at how small the 2 litre boats were - and we raced in rougher water back then. It was far less likely to run shortened courses or cancel events.
